About this product

Product Information

Do you overthink before taking action? Are you prone to making negative predictions? Do you worry about the worst that could happen? Do you take negative feedback very hard? Are you self-critical? Does anything less than perfect performance feel like failure? If any of these issues resonate with you, you're probably suffering from some degree of anxiety, and you're not alone. The good news: while reducing your anxiety level to zero isn't possible or useful (anxiety can actually be helpful!), you can learn to successfully manage symptoms - such as excessive rumination, hesitation, fear of criticism and paralysing perfection. In The Anxiety Toolkit , Dr. Alice Boyes translates powerful, evidence-based tools used in therapy clinics into tips and tricks you can employ in everyday life. Whether you have an anxiety disorder, or are just anxiety-prone by nature, you'll discover how anxiety works, strategies to help you cope with common anxiety 'stuck' points and a confidence that - anxious or not - you have all the tools you need to succeed in life and work.

Her tips and exercises, drawn from cognitive behavioral therapies that she herself has administered, should make a valuable reference for anxiety sufferers, and an ideal companion to readers undergoing psychotherapy themselves." --- Publishers Weekly "Therapist Boyes' "toolkit" is filled with "nuts-and-bolts" remedies for combating anxiety-driven inertia. Boyes, who claims that she, too, has been "anxiety-prone," begins by explaining that anxiety itself isn't the problem. It can actually be beneficial by making us more cautious and methodical in our tasks. The problem lies in how we become trapped by our real or perceived fears and are unable to act. Boyes concentrates on five areas--hesitancy, rumination and worry, perfectionism, fear of feedback, and avoidance--where anxiety can lead to bottlenecks. She begins each chapter with a quiz, allowing readers to gauge their needs, and then offers "experiments" suggesting specific, safe breakthrough techniques such as visualizing positive alternative outcomes or remembering successes. The therapist takes care to suggest nonthreatening options and to remind readers that working with their tendencies, not against them, delivers greater results. Far from the pat "don't worry, be happy" approach, Boyes' practical, easy-to-follow methods will be reassuring and useful to a wide range of readers." ---Booklist , "Th e Anxiety Toolkit provides quick, simple and practical tips that the anxious person can use now." --Robert L.

  • Good reading for the younger set

    Really rudimentary info. Not like an "I'm ok, you're ok" pop psych book but its written on such a "see Jack run, run Jack run" level that I can only assume it's a junior high- or high school intro psych of textbook. Not bad, just not news, nor anything one wouldn't really even know intuitively. I think.

  • Clear, concise tools and easy to read.

    I have learned a lot from this book because it's written in plain language-which is easier to understand and easier to put to daily use. At this point I didn't even need the reason for my 'stuck points' because I just need a way to get past them! There are very valid tools all through the book that help chip away at problem areas we all have. Dr. Boyes includes a Quiz in most chapters and on page 142 there is a section called Know Yourself: Are you a Freezer, Flyer, or Fighter? I ordered a paperback and carry it with me. It has truly made a difference in my life and I recommend it highly.
